This was asked earlier (including me). And was answered. > The Rupee sign is what it is -- the sign of India's currency. The There is a serious misunderstanding there. At least six other countries have named their currency "Rupee:. > character 20A8 encodes that sign. If the Indian Govt decides to Yes and nw. That character should display as "R s" in a font without that glyph. And a country may not want to use the Indian symbol in place of that sign. And AFAIK, none of Indian fonts (as available on GNU/Linux) distros have that symbol. And None of Indian Locales as available on most linux distros use that symbol - they use the INR or plain Rs. (I may be wrong here - feel free to thwack me if I am actually wrong). > change the glyph (in fact it is only now *deciding* on a glyph) then > the same character should be maintained with only the glyph changed, It certainly not a glyph change. I would have agreed with you 3 weeks back, but not now. -- Mahesh T. Pai || http://[paivakil|fizzard].blogspot.com A closed mouth gathers no feet.
